R umpelstiltskin
O nce upon a time there was a dwarf named Rumpels. . . wait, you
probably know that part already. This re-imagining of the classic fairy tale features two
strong-willed sisters: Anya, shy and romantic, and Ingrid, outspoken and sensible.
W hen their widowed mother is once again victim to the judgments of others, she tells a
tiny lie -- Anya can turn straw into gold. Soon, the story "spins" out of control
when the King believes Anya is the reason their nation is out of money and demands
she perform her special skill for the royal coffers.
M ix in magical companions, mistaken identities, a short villian, and
princess wannabes -- is this a recipe for disaster? Or happily ever after?
High School Students comment on Rumpelstiltskin:
"I liked being Pansy because he says things funny and his fights with Sweeps are hilarious."
"Ingrid and Captain Tanner argue with each other about whether men or women are better and that was fun."
"Anya is really sweet and I almost cried at the end when she had to give Sweeps to Rumpelstiltskin."
"I liked being one of the South sisters because I got to scream my head off when the ogre attacked me."
